<p>Over <strong>100 million</strong> new users joined Telegram this January, seeking more privacy and freedom. But what about the messages and memories that remain in older apps?</p>
<p>Starting today, everyone can bring their chat history including videos and documents to Telegram from apps like <strong>WhatsApp</strong>, <strong>Line</strong> and <strong>KakaoTalk</strong>. This works both for individual chats and groups:</p>

</div>
<p>To move a chat from <strong>WhatsApp on iOS</strong>, open the <em>Contact Info</em> or <em>Group Info</em> page in WhatsApp, tap <em>Export Chat</em>, then choose <strong>Telegram</strong> in the Share menu.</p>
<p>On <strong>Android</strong>, open a WhatsApp chat, tap ⋮ <em>&gt; More &gt; Export Chat</em>, then choose <strong>Telegram</strong> in the Share menu:</p>

<blockquote>
<p><em>WhatsApp for iOS</em> also lets you export chats directly from the chat list. <strong>Swipe left</strong> on a chat, then choose &#39;&#39; &gt; <em>Export Chat</em>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Messages will be imported into the <strong>current day</strong> but will also include their <strong>original timestamps</strong>. All members of the chat on Telegram will see the messages.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="move-chats-and-save-space" href="#move-chats-and-save-space"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Move Chats and Save Space</h3>
<p>The best part is that the messages and media you move dont need to occupy extra space. Older apps make you store all data on your device but Telegram can take up virtually <strong>no space</strong> while letting you access all your messages, photos and videos anytime you need them.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You can <a href="https://t.me/TelegramTips/243">free up space</a> and control your cache size in <em>Settings &gt; Data and Storage &gt; Storage Usage</em>.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="control-your-digital-footprint" href="#control-your-digital-footprint"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Control Your Digital Footprint</h3>
<p>Your data is your business, which is why Telegram users can not only <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/export-and-more">export their chats</a>, but also <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/unsend-privacy-emoji#unsend-anything">delete messages</a> they <em>send</em> and <em>receive</em> for both sides <strong>without a trace</strong>.</p>
<p>With this update, you get even more control: <strong>secret chats</strong>, <strong>groups</strong> you created and <strong>call history</strong> can now also be deleted for all sides at any time. </p>

<p>Telegram servers dont store information about deleted chats and call logs, so the data will disappear completely, forever.</p>

<p>You can now see which of your groups have active <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/voice-chats">Voice Chats</a> from the top of the <strong>Call History</strong> page.</p>
<p>While in a voice chat you can <strong>adjust the volume</strong> of individual participants to manage microphone levels. Adjustments made by group admins are applied for all listeners.</p>

<h3><a class="anchor" name="reporting-fake-channels" href="#reporting-fake-channels"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Reporting Fake Channels</h3>
<p>All Telegram apps let you report spam and other types of illegal content, including calls to violence or child abuse. Now you can also report <strong>fake channels or groups</strong> that impersonate famous people or organizations. Open their profile page and tap <em>&#39;&#39; &gt; Report &gt; Fake Account</em> to let our moderators know.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="improved-accessibility" href="#improved-accessibility"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Improved Accessibility</h3>
<p>Many accessibility improvements have been added for both <strong>TalkBack</strong> and <strong>VoiceOver</strong> users. As we continue to refine app interfaces for all users, we welcome additional feedback on our <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/voice-chats#feature-suggestion-platform">Suggestions Platform</a>.</p>
<p>A warm welcome to everyone who joined us recently! The next update shouldnt take long.</p>
